… the stunning flowers (courtesy of Veronica Peters at Table Tops Etc) …… or the adorable flower girls…… though those were all great reasons to love it as well!No, the reason I truly loved Emily and Martin’s wedding was because it was all about the relationships that were present on this big day.Not just about the relationship between Martin and Emily, though that of course was one of the main features that made me smile.

But it was also about their friends and family who, as you can see, love them dearly and couldn’t have been happier for the two of them.You know it’s a major celebration for all, when almost every single picture you’re looking through has at least one person who’s smiling, dancing, laughing, or clapping!That’s just how Martin and Emily’s wedding was and I hope they can remember it for all time exactly as it was… as a beautiful and joyful celebration in it’s full glory.Thank you Martin and Emily, for including us in such a special occasion that made so many people so happy… it did the same for us! I can’t think of a better way we could have spent the day than by being at a place so full of smiles and love.Thanks to the both of you for including us in that and making us feel a part of it all. Count us in as more of the many people who are so incredibly happy for the two of you. Congratulations!Click to see the rest of Martin and Emily’s Lovely and Loving Wedding photos here.

Who doesn’t love an adorable family with a super smiley little girl?!I for one, can’t resist it! I’m not quite a cheek pincher yet, but give me a couple of years with this one and my fingers may develop an itch that only those cheeks can scratch!I mean, come on, tell me you can resist that little face!Even when she’s not smiling, she’s still irresistible.I’m not sure how her parents can ever say no to her! They have their work cut out for them… especially her dad! With her looks and personality growing as fast as she does… he’s in trouble!The fact that her mom planned this session so perfectly, with the perfect outfit for the little one, and the perfect location……definitely helps add to the photos, even though these photos don’t technically need all that much more in them than just these wonderful people themselves!I mean, if there’s one thing that’s better than an adorable little girl with her wonderful family, it’s definitely having all of that in a place as gorgeous as the Canals on Venice Beach!Thanks to the Tucker family for letting us spend a little time with one of the most amazing little girls on the planet, and for planning a great session that was so much fun for us!You guys are the best!Click to see more of The Adorable Tucker Family Photo Session here.

One of the best parts of our job is that we get to be there for major milestones as we watch people’s lives grow and change.So we consider it a huge honor whenever we get to work with people more than once!Which is why we couldn’t be happier to be taking photos of the Abrahms family for the third time!When we first started, this little one……was actually little!

(As you can see, he’s now a big boy of three years.)

Then he had a new little brother added on……who has somehow grown up as well!Now they’re both running around and playing like it’s their last day on earth!And we are thrilled we get to be the ones to capture it.Or at least attempt to capture it as they zoom past us!It’s been so fun watching the Abrahms grow and change!We can’t wait to see what beautiful things are in store for the year ahead of you, Abrahms Family!A VERY early Merry Christmas to you and we’ll see you next year!Click to see the rest of the Abrahms Family’s Pre-Christmas Pictures.

I know I often say, “what’s better than____ and then follow it up with something better. But this time I’m going to change it up on you. This time I’m asking “what’s better than an adorable, very in love couple who’s about to get married?”and I’m proposing that the answer is… nothing!Nothing is better than an adorable, very in love couple who’s about to get married! I mean, having a very fun and chill engagement session with said couple is PRETTY good…… but still not BETTER.Having the perfect location for said engagement photo session is PRETTY good…… but still not BETTER.Having a couple who also happens to look really good together in said photos, is PRETTY good…… but still not BETTER. See what I mean?! There really is nothing better than an adorable, very in love couple who’s about to get married!I rest my case!Click to see the rest of the photos from Ashley and Kevin’s “Nothing Better” Engagement Session.

What’s better than an engagement session with a fantastic couple at the always gorgeous Balboa Park in San Diego?Only a session with all that, PLUS their adorable little daughter!

(She’s one year old now and I think she’s pretty proud of it!)

As you can see, Kevin and Carrie’s session had it all and then some.There’s the incredible architecture the park has to offer…… the mind blowing feats of nature…… the little fiesta area of shops I never knew about…… and then there’s this little one!What more could we ask for in an engagement session?Kevin and Carrie, thanks so much for planning the perfect session, for being up for quite a hike around the park, and for spending as much time as we needed with you… and then some! I know I used the word “adventure” pretty liberally in the title of this post, but hey, we DID survive major clothing malfunctions, slippery slopes around fairytale tree roots, and this lip…… so I think we’re ready to take on the best wedding day EVER! See you guys there, we can’t wait!
